Houston firefighters found a body while battling a house fire in South Houston Sunday morning.

The call for the one-alarm fire in the 3500 block of Seabrook came in at 8:35 a.m. and the body was reported at 9 a.m. It took about two-and-a-half hours to get the fire under control, said Spokesman Capt. Ruy Lozano.

The first crews to respond found heavy fire in the front of the building that was being fueled by winds, according to a press release. A team entered through the back and found the victim on that side of the home. Lozano said the victim lived alone.
